How To Paint (and Stencil) a Kitchen Floor

We've had quite a bit of focus on the kitchen floor lately, what with this gallery of painted floors and a look at painted floor cloths. Reader Jacqueline was inspired to send us her own kitchen floor solution. Take a peek at her kitchen floor before painting...

Quite an improvement over the state of the kitchen floor before painting!

We recently pulled up the self-stick tiles in our kitchen and painted the subfloor with a repeat pattern using exterior latex paint (a mistint from Lowes). It is part of our interim kitchen solution until we can fully renovate.

We love how the bright paint brightens up a dark kitchen, and the stencils are a great idea too. Have you ever painted a kitchen floor?
